Hotmail

[James]

This server is too busy.

[Aaron]

Its more like 'SpamMail'

[Guest]

james, why do you even bother with hotmail when you have your own webserver

[SexyNic]

for msn maybe?

[Aaron]

you can use any email address for msn not just hotmail

[Guest]

you dont need hotmail to run msn

[SexyNic]

i didn't know that

[James]

Happy...

 

1) My own server/email is LITTERED with spam - i get at LEAST 3000 spam email a day - even with something like spam inspector its just not worth using the account at all - i could set up another email account i guess but then i'd have to keep changing it

 

2) Its my MSN account and all integrated nicely

 

3) I can check and send my email from anywhere and its the only decent online webmail i've seen

 

4) The spam filters on hotmail are the best out there I reckon

 

5) I cant gaurantee my server is always going to be available

[James]

i think its being added to by things other than web pages - i think i got on a lot of lists a long time back and i'm stuffed on that addy

 

may think up a new addy but hotmail one is fine and not too much spam

1- you shouldnt need spam filters as long as you dont leave your e-mail address on websites (because then it will get spidered)

 

2- its slow though. very slow

 

3- its a peice of piss to write your own webbased e-mail checker! failing that, use yahoo mail to import your mail

 

4- as point #1

 

5- whys that? surely as long as u have the income it keep the domain name registered there shouldnt be a problem

Happy I've been absolutely FINE with Hotmail until today and I'm sure the problem wont last longer than a few minutes !

[Guest]

to be honnest, i'm just being an argumentative twat right now

 

i've found ways to fully fill everything that hotmail offers, but it is a little longwinded at times
